"DOS" line endings in Stingray TrafficScript rules

Hi,

I am working at the moment on having chef to render templates for some
traffic script rules. One issue I’m running into is that when chef
renders the template the DOS line ending (CR (shows up as ^M in vim)) is
not rendering into the file. Is there a way to force chef to put that DOS
line ending into the output file?

Does the source template have dos line endings (CRLF) that are getting
converted to unix endings (LF) by chef?

When I was working on a different issue recently, I noticed inconsistent use of binmode among different file providers, which I resolved by adding binmode where it was missing.

I'd be interested to hear the answer to the above question, and I should also caution that line ending conversion behavior resulting from not using binmode should not be depended on.

Hi,

Just the first line of the file has a DOS line ending (per the Zeus
TrafficScript spec).
